Abstract

Results are presented from the two-dimensional numerical simulations of laser energy input into a hohlraum through a hole. This problem is of interest for ICF research, specifically, for optimization of laser microtarget design. The optimum relations are found between the hole size and the effective laser spot radius under conditions close to those of present-day ICF experiments.
